Hey guys,
I have a old kosi heater and was wondering whether it would have any aspestos in it?
It looks like it was made in the 1930's.
I heard it might have asbestos around the door..
Also would anyone have anymore information on this? i cant find any anywhere
I have attached a couple of pics that mite help.
Help would be appreciated thanks

The older door seals were asbestos. Later seals weren't.

I would say that just by the appearance that it would be asbestos. The newer seals are generally made with a woven type fibre glass tubing with some type of fibres in them.

If you go to a heating specialist you may be able to get some new seals.
